Messenger god Hermes’ sandals have been stolen by a mortal, thus robbing all gods of their gift of teleportation. Zeus is furious, but Hermes has more to worry about than his father’s anger. Retrieving the sandals becomes a race against time as others are after the precious artifacts, too.
Hermes knows the identity of the thief: the lovely Greek studies professor, Penelope. Now, not only does he have to get to his sandals first, but he has to do so before Penelope steals something else: his heart.

Musings
After finishing A Scent of Greek, which is fabulous,
I immediately downloaded A Taste of Greek for my Kindle and
since again I was able to purchase the audio version for minimal cost, I
downloaded it as well. This is another light-hearted farce that had me giggling
and laughing out loud at the antics of Hermes and his friends as they solve the
mystery, which is the premise behind this great book.
Hermes, the messenger god, has a dilemma. His winged
sandals are gone and none of the gods can teleport until he has them back on
his feet. His father, Zeus is raining
down his wrath on the unsuspecting humans on earth. A week ago he met the
delightful Penny Galloway and was immediately drawn to the enchanting
instructor of Ancient Greek history and mythology, and she had spent the night
in his bed. As much as he does not want to believe it, Penny must have stolen
his sandals.
Penny is desperate. She has to write an article and has
to get it published before the deadline to get tenure, or she will be out of a
job and unable to help her grandmother. When she meets Hermes, she is immediately
attracted to him in a big way. She notices his unusual sandals and wants to
examine them to determine if they are as ancient as she suspects. When she
awakens after a night of the most incredible sex of her life, she does the
unthinkable and steals his sandals.
When one of the sandals is re-stolen from Penny, this
starts the delightfully funny romp of Hermes retrieving the sandals, all while
falling for the incredibly beautiful Penny. Will the couple find the sandals in
time to avoid the full brunt of Zeus’ anger, falling in love along the way, or
will circumstance destroy the love before it has a chance to deepen into the
forever kind?
I loved the interaction between Hermes and Penny
from the start, and the chemistry between the pair sizzles, definitely heating
up my Kindle, making it almost too hot to hold! Hermes is everything one would
expect in a god in the looks department, but he is also kind and forgiving as
well. Even though Penney stole from him, he holds firm to his belief that there
has to be a mitigating circumstance to cause her to do it.
Penny’s character is love and kindness personified,
whether she is caring for her elderly grandmother or helping feed the homeless,
her gentle and caring nature comes through. Now do not think for a minute she
is too good. She’s feisty and determined with a will to rival Hermes or any
god.
Oh, and again, Eric G. Dove does an outstanding job
of bringing all the characters to life, from Penny’s cantankerous, yet loving
grandmother, to her devious father. I just love his style. It is pure pleasure
to enmesh myself in his fantastic narrative.
This is a great addition to the romantic comedy
series and now I can’t wait for the final book, Eros’ story to come out. I
highly recommend A Taste of Greek to all who love a funny romance with endearing
characters. I also enjoyed reading of the other characters from the first and
second book. I am confident that you will enjoy A Taste of Greek as much as
I did. Happy reading!
